BRIAN J, I didn't get into the Weaver wood chip hoppers till after Weaver went out of business. Needless to say they are were hard to find on the secondary market. I did manage to get a few from Beth at PDT. Lionel took their four bay hopper and added an extension on the top to make it a wood chip hopper. They did a few of these which I liked and even had a Katy wood chip hopper in a recent catalog which they canceled. Lionel did get all the american tooling from Weaver which included the two bay hoppers but for some reason it has been a slow process to produce any of the Weaver stuff..........Paul 2
